Another Newbie
Was checking out a few forums and liked this one the best. I bought my 2011 SCREW Ecoboost last month (traded in my beloved Charger SRT8). I've owned more Fords than any other brand, but haven't had a Ford truck since my '01 F-350. So far, the truck has been great. I've always been a V-8 guy, so I was very skeptical about the Ecoboost until I drove it, then I was sold. The gas mileage has been hit and miss - it's a hit when I drive it gingerly, and a miss when I don't. But, if I wanted great gas mileage, I would've bought a Fiesta. It's a truck, and a powerful one to boot, so I'm not complaining. Looking forward to years of enjoyment.
I wish I would have waited one more year so I could get the ecoboost, but I've heard the same thing you said from other people...that its hit or miss. Haven't been too unhappy with the mileage though. But as you said, we wouldn't be driving trucks if we were looking for good mpgs. Welcome to the site.
